Euro 2016 enhanced odds: England to beat Wales - 10/1

Follow the author of this article

England need a win against Wales in their second game of Group B to take the edge off the disappointment of their 1-1 draw against Russia on Saturday. Roy Hodgson’s side looked set for all three points following Eric Dier’s 73rd minute free-kick, but Vasili Berezutski’s stoppage-time header snatched the Russians an unlikely draw.

Wales, by contrast, have got off to a flyer. Hal Robson-Kanu’s dramatic late winner secured the Welsh a winning return to major international tournaments following a 58 year absence. Chris Coleman’s side are currently top of Group B and in Gareth Bale they have a player that will strike fear into Roy Hodgson’s back four.

England have it all to do and Thursday’s all-home nations clash has been eagerly awaited every since the draw was made. Jamie Vardy, who was an unused substitute last time out, is likely to come in if Hodgson opts for two up top. The Leicester striker scored 24 goals and managed eight assists for the Foxes in their Premier League title campaign and if he can link up with Kane in the same manner as the victory over Germany, Wiles will find England almost impossible to stop.
